Release v5.4.x - SlideRule

2026-05-08

Version description of the v5.4.1 release of SlideRule Earth.

Significant Changes¶

v5.4.0 - The arrow endpoints are no longer routed from /arrow/{endpoint} but instead are routed from /source/{endpoint} with the Accept: {content-type} HTTP header supplied in the request. The support arrow content types are “application/arrow” or simply “arrow”. For convenience, specifying the accepted content type of an endpoint can also be accomplished by supplying a suffix to the endpoint name: /source/{endpoint}.{content-type}.

For example the following are equivalent:

curl -H "Accept: arrow" https://sliderule.slideruleearth.io/source/atl03x
curl https://sliderule.slideruleearth.io/source/atl03x.arrow
